曲:愛し君へ - 森山直太朗
you cannot do without a birthday post, I think.
this song expresses ALL my feelings for the wonderful people in my life; albeit being a love song, it does talk about how i always turn to you guys for support. I'm not as strong a person as I seem to be, but it's everyone around that makes me strong, really. It's a song for all the people I love so so much.
feeling a little melancholic on the morning of the birthday, and I think the reasons are tenfold this year.
and in every blog post I'm counting down to Seattle - its twenty days to my departure, and while I know it's going to be both scary and amazing at the same time, I really am trying not to think so much about it right now. There's simply so much to remember, treasure and miss back home.
sneaky linguistics people surprised me with cake at the end of Turkey presentation - was super embarrassed by everything, but it was sweet of them, really. but they were laughing at my embarrassment lah please.
raffles courtyard with darryn, ruini and andre - ah joe and william, being the great great people they are - gave us a fantastic dinner as usual. the hotel has changed so much, people, menu, everything - but it still holds a lot of memories for me. and to see william and ah joe cooking in the courtyard kitchen made me miss ah ford, calvin and wilson so so much. in the past I could look towards the kitchen and see them all plating some wonderful dish or something, now with all of them in macau it's not really going to happen anymore I think. and then I was so glad I bumped into kokchang, chandran and adam outside empire - they were hilarious as before, and they really reminded me of how much working at the hotel made me who I am today.
and then modesto's last night with the hall people and sherman and pam - super fun. I am really amazingly blessed with great people in my life, I think. was laughing like a maniac throughout dinner and throughout drinks as well. I couldn't complete the post a few entries back cause I really didn't know what to write, so many things cannot be expressed in just words alone, really. but I do love them, and I don't want to take their presence for granted, and so I'm just trying to keep everything in memory.
and Angels made me tear today. Gosh.
velda.
